On my Porsche I run an Optima which lasts 7+ years and is a very strong battery.

You should seriously consider replacing the belt tensioner mechanisms while doing the timing belt.
Normally I'd say to stick with Bridgestone Blizzak, Pirelli Sottozero 3, Michellin X-Ice 3, or Continental WinterContact Si's... But $200 for a slightly used set on wheels that fit your car? Can't really go wrong there.
Have these on the 944 and they are surprisingly good. Not pirelli p7 good, but good and they hold up. Honestly I have no issues with them. (Riken Raptor ZR summers)
So far I haven't really pushed them, and I don't do much more than just some very quick backroad driving and highway miles. I've had them for almost a month (even in below / near freezing) and haven't had any issues unless there was snow on the road (obviously since they're summer tires).
I bought Michelin PSS due to everyone online telling me to and HOLY SHIT. Best tires ever
Only have used the Ventus V12 Evo/2 on my Boxster, have been pleased with them.
I've driven Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 2's my dad's 993 quite a bit. No complaints, they work fine for highway cruising/spirited driving.
I replaced a fuel pressure regulator and a few other things myself, and had my mechanic do the timing belt/water pump.
First day with my 951 on the road, just got it registered and my front drivers caliper locks up and boiled my fluid before I could get home.
